Brazil vs Senegal Preview and Team News

Brazil Team News

Carlo Ancelotti’s side will be on the road this weekend, as their World Cup preparations step up a gear with an international friendly in London against Senegal. 

It’s been a mixed period for Brazil. While they’ve secured their World Cup qualification, they’ve fallen short of the standard expected from potential winners of next summer’s showpiece. 

Ancelotti has settled on a 4-3-3 formation, but the balance of the team looks poor. Casemiro is a favored player for the Italian coach, but his ability to get around the pitch means that two energetic midfielders will need to play alongside the veteran. 

Ancelotti will also need to settle on a preferred front three, as the experiment that saw Vinicius Jr play as a number nine in a 3-2 loss against Japan didn’t work. Richarlison could be preferred in the role this weekend, with Rodrygo and Vinicius playing off the wings. 

Brazil predicted lineup vs Senegal (4-3-3): Ederson; Henrique, Marquinhos, Militao, Wesley; Santos, Casemiro, Paqueta; Rodrygo, Richarlison, Vinicius.

Senegal Team News

Pape Thiaw’s Senegal will also be looking ahead to next summer’s World Cup after securing qualification by topping their African group. 

Senegal have been competitive throughout the calendar year, winning seven of their 10 qualifying matches, scoring an impressive 22 goals, and conceding just three times. The nation have also held their own in competitive friendlies, which includes a 3-1 win over England at the City Ground in June. 

Senegal thrived out of possession against a European heavyweight, hitting England on the counterattack with their speedy offensive players bursting into life whenever their defenders won the ball back. Diarra, Gueye, and Camara are a combative midfield trio, each with a natural ability to break up offensive moves. Ndiaye and Sarr’s pace from the wide areas will cause issues for Brazil, while Jackson is a handful in the number nine role. 

Senegal predicted lineup vs Brazil (4-3-3): E. Mendy; A. Mendy, Koulibaly, Niakhate, Diouf; P. Sarr, Gueye, Camara; Ndiaye, Jackson, I. Sarr.

Brazil vs Senegal Prediction 

• Pick: Draw
• Odds: +394 (20Bet)
• Correct score prediction: Brazil 2-2 Senegal

Incredibly, Senegal are one of two nations that have never suffered an international defeat against Brazil. That could be a trend worth following this week. 

Ancelotti’s appointment as the South American side’s boss was celebrated, but the team are yet to find the right balance, and they could be vulnerable in transitions once again against an energetic Senegal. 

Brazil were caught up field on three occasions in their defeat against Japan last month, and a similar story could unfold at the Emirates on Saturday. 

Brazil vs Senegal Prediction, Betting Tip

• Pick: Over 2.5 Goals 
• Odds: -135 (20Bet)

Brazil’s poor defensive record could make over 2.5 goals a standout selection on Saturday. 

The South American nation lack the energy in the middle of the park, and that typically leaves them vulnerable against counterattacking teams. Brazil have conceded an average of 1.1 goals per game this calendar year and have kept clean sheets in just 33% of their matches. 

Meanwhile, Senegal’s offensive threat has been evident, as they’ve averaged 1.9 goals per encounter in 2025.
